Crush, a word that sounded weird for me. Ever since a guy named Jackson came, The word Crush is always heard. Every day and night. During online classes and school.
Maira Daania's my name. Call me MD. Im a 19 year old girl at a normal high school.
"Hey, MD." sounded a familiar voice behind me. I turned and I saw the 'boy', Jackson.
I don't know why but he always wants to be friends with me. And because of that I attract bullies. I've been handling this bully situation all by myself. No one knows about it, only me. Ever since then I always kept my distance from everyone. I wanted to be the shadow of my school. I wanted to be invisible because of them.
But someone became my light, Jackson. He has been with me every time. He kept me comfortable. He made me feel safe around him. He's like my knight in shining armor. Even though I wanted to be the shadow, That light made me realise, Even though I'm trash and unneeded, even though im a mistake to my parents, even though everyone wants me to give up, I didn't. I kept on living, with the light by my side I felt like he's my hero.
Every time he's gone, I felt chills in my heart, My heart felt cold. And i never smiled for a split second. If he's here, I would smile out of joy, My heart would feel watm and happy. Me and him. Were like meant to be :)
But happiness doesn't last long...
"SKKKKRRRTTT!!!" A car crash incident happened. I was crying miserably in my bed. My stepparents left me alone. Even the school treated me like im invisible. At first, I thought that i would be happy because i dreamt to be invisible in everyones eyes!
but I was wrong. it felt horrible! no one talking to me, no one cares about me, no one even sees me! I felt my heart break into pieces. And i thought,
'Jackson, where are you..?'
I cried till my hearts content. I looked ag my phone and its the middle of the night.
I still don't understand why must the light go. I thought that we'd be together forever! but I was wrong. Life Is Short, it's something I learnt that night...I closed my eyes and went to sleep. I dreamt Jackson and me were together forever, and it made me smile for the first time.
Im now 27 and I work as an animator at Japan,Tokyo. I went out to the balcony to get some fresh air, Damn this new anime im animating is tiring. I said. I breathed the warm air and let it out. The view from there was amazing. I smiled when the view reminded me of some of our memories together... it's true...
Your my Crush.
(this is a true story about my life. Yes I now work as an animator in Japan. And im still single, so.. Jackson is still in my heart, no one has replaced him......yet.)
